PRESIDENT Donald Trump has demanded North Korea get rid of their nuclear weapons as he spoke in Washington where he also branded Kim Jong-Un “very honourable” and warned the United States could walk away from talks with Pyongyang.

When asked by a journalist at the press conference what he means by ‘complete denuclearisation’ on the Korean peninsula, Mr Trump said: “It means North Korea get rid of their nukes, very simple.

“It would be very easy for me to make a simple deal and claim victory, I don’t want to do that, I want them to get rid of their nukes.”

The US President also called Kim Jong-un “very open” and “very honourable”, which was a very different approach to the rogue state to his normal insults which has included calling the leader 'Little Rocket Man'.
